Main Argument

When discussing whether TikTok should be banned, first, we have to look at every party of the affected community. In my argument, we speak about a content creator, Skye, and how she is affected if TikTok were to be banned. Many small content creators and businesses would be negatively affected such as Khamyra Skyes and other small businesses that use the publicity from TikTok to boost their popularity.

Complexity 1

Although keeping TikTok up would benefit the small time creators, it doesn't change the addictiveness of the platform. The short form content is "melting the brains" of the current youth and rotting their brain. In the text it shows that Skye is also seen falling asleep to videos which isn't beneficial to your health in the long-run.

Complexity 2

Another creator that utilizes the TikTok platform to spread information is Saman Gonzalez. Although her information is entertaining and brings light to a harsh part of immigration, not everyone will be truthful in the light of things. Misinformation is a big part of online platforms when people can do things without their identities being revealed. This leads to misinformation and controversy leading to the spread of toxicity and disagreement.
